A SC version wouldn't be a knock off. It would be Dota 2, provided of course that Icefrog and co invest the years developing and refining it. Or do you miss the point that games often evolve with new engines? Yes, dota is merely a map, but it is also a game unto itself, as Hon and LoL have shown. Except Blizzard brings way more game to the table i.t.o. engine, server stability and tech support than Riot does, given their resources.
I have seen enough to realise that SC2 does not merit enough for me to buy it. Dota 2 would, especially given that I would then have all of the 'standard extras', plus other custom maps.
